Dividing...
I am not a big fan of TV sitcoms (situational comedies). My reason, because the men of the show type are always viewed as idiots or buffoons; where the wives seems to have all the answers and the right to rule the (home) universe. No matter you look, the man is asking if his outfit is the to liking of the Wife. Last I checked, the Wife became the Wife partly of the husband’s attire (among other things, of course). When did things change when the couple said, “I do”. Did he immediately lose his sense of style (assuming he had one to begin with)? And why does he always appear stupid to the Wife and her girlfriends? My Wife is a huge fan of some of these shows and I consider such time as HER time. Especially with her favorite Real Housewives of Atlanta (Yuck!).
I am not sure if I am overly sensitive to this subject but when will this madness stop? I believe there is balance to be had where both are right and wrong sometimes. We need encouragement when we are down, and we need support when we are afflicted and suffering. The Man can be strong enough to confront an intruder in his home, but later criticized and mocked when he ends up on the wrong side of the victory from said confrontation. I guess there is something for all to watch and dare I say, enjoy. However, I am NOT a fan of such shows or situations where we men have to apologize for being less than intelligent and more so, overly apologetic for our shortcomings.
I do not want to sound like a hater, but enough is enough. Men, stand up and represent the best you can.
By the way… I cannot stand the show “Real Housewives of Atlanta”. Ladies, if you are real about yours, please stand up and share your thoughts…
